The recent speech by the government plant in the Care Quality Commission, David Prior, has called for NHS Trusts
who have fallen into financial difficulty to be taken over by European or
American ‘Hospital Chains’.

Such a move would present new opportunities to Circle Health, the first company to takeover the running of a NHS hospital and a company that is embedded into the highest areas of government influence. Not only is a former Circle employee writing the health policy for No10, but another of their former staff is health adviser to Jeremy Hunt. If you add the donations ending up in the local office of the policy unit head, then you could say No10 is now the House of Circle.

A secret plan to hand
over NHS hospitals to foreign companies was initially exposed by the transparency
campaigners, Spinwatch in 2011. A Freedom of Information release unearthed communications between management consultancy firm McKinsey and the Department
of Health, which revealed how over 20 NHS hospitals should be taken over by foreign firms. This process should be done
with a “mindset of one at a time…because of various political constraints
associated with privatisation.”

In David Prior’s speech made at a health seminar
in London last week, the former Conservative Chief Executive cited the private
hospital company, Circle, who took over the running of Hitchingbrooke hospital
back in 2011, as being a model that could be followed for such a process.

This sentiment was one that was shared by fellow Conservative MP Mark Simmonds
who landed his role as strategic adviser to Circle in December 2010. This new
position was taken up just five months after he had finished his role as Shadow Health
Secretary. The blog ‘NHS Vault’ revealed that within a
report written by the Hitchingbrooke Health Care NHS Trust Chief Executive's
& Franchise Representatives, Simmonds visited the hospital in July 2012 and
told those in attendance, “In this hospital you can change the way the NHS
works, in my view for the better, you are at the frontier of the way
healthcare is going to be provided in the future.”

The support of Circle within government is
also supported by their presence in the heart of government policy. Nick
Seddon, is a former Head of Communications for Circle, who moved to the free
market think tank Reform as deputy director. Reform are
heavily funded by private healthcare, which includes private hospital groups.

Whilst at Reform, Seddon was highly active lobbying alongside private healthcare to ensure competition remained int he Health and Social care bill. In addition, he called for an increase in private
companies taking over NHS hospitals, which was part of a campaign by Reform backed by the Telegraph who helped promote Circle's model.David Cameron, who had said lobbying would be the 'next big scandal' decided
to hand a healthcare lobbyist a role in the health policy unit at No10.

This is not the only influence Circle have in
the echelons of government health policy. Secretary of State for Health,
Jeremy Hunt chose to hire
Christina Robinson, another former Head of Communications at Circle as his
special adviser.

The direction of where health policy is
going couldn’t be clearer, but it isn’t just there where Circle has
representation in government policy. Conservative MP for Orpington Jo Johnson, was
made head of the No10 Policy unit leading up until the next general
election. His constituency office received £6,000 just after the election, in
July 2010, from Robin Crispin Odey a major investor in Circle.

Robin Odey, whose asset management company
is based in the tax haven of the Cayman Islands has given the
Conservative party £251,000 – some of which has ended up in local constituencies.

Incidentally, all the MPs listed below who
have been in receipt of donations from Mr Odey, were able to vote on the recent
amendment to the Care bill that allows Jeremy Hunt to close or downgrade
hospitals.

As if this wasn’t enough, Conservative peer
Baron
Higgins of Worthing holds in excess of £50,000 worth of shares in Lansdowne
UK Equity Fund, another investor in Circle.

The House of Commons or rather, Circle and their external
plants in organisations like the CQC are now calling for more private hospitals
to be handed out to foreign companies. Circle will be delighted to hear such news, who currently remain in the running for another takeover of a NHS hospital in Nuneaton
alongside Care UK.

The
government (House of Circle) treats the electorate with contempt and here is
why.

They plan policy in secret with management
consultancy companies who themselves have private healthcare clients and with
whom they share
information.

Corporate lobby groups such as Reform, who help write their policy, are
masquerading as charitable think tanks to push policy that opens revenues for
their corporate backers.

Cameron choose to hire a corporate lobbyist into his policy unit.

The rules are not fit for purpose
MPs who through their constituency offices are in receipt of money from an
investor in Circle, and were allowed to vote on a clause that will allow the closure and
downgrading of NHS hospitals.

who have received funds from Robin Crispin Odey and voted on Clause 119 - the hospital closure clause: Source - Electoral Commission

This represents the
latest list of recent or present financial links between
parliamentarians and individuals or companies involved in private
healthcare.

The list is up-to-date as of March 2nd 2014. Another list will be drawn up prior to the election. The previous list is representative of who had these interests when they voted on the Health and Social Care bill, helping it become Act.

MPs and Lords are able to vote on legislation, even when they have a direct financial interest. This happened with the Health and Social Care Act, which saw the NHS being forced into a world of an external market. The legislation was written for industry, by industry and is part of the overall plan for it's demise and the eventual takeover by private health insurance companies.

Not our words, but those of Oliver Letwin and John Redwood in their 1988 publication for the Centre for Policy Studies, 'Britain's Biggest Enterprise.'

The rules are not fit for purpose, it is not enough to simply register your interests and then vote as you like. Local councillors must abide by a stricter regime, which is imposed on them by parliament. Why should we the public be placed in a position whereby we have to take the politicians word for it that despite their interest, their vote was in the best interest of the public? It is time, that parliament ended this hypocrisy.

What point are the rules, if there is no punitive action when they get broken. The committees made up of parliamentarians, decide the punishment of themselves. When a serious wrongdoing is committed, all that is often handed down, is a suspension, whiles they are able to remain on as an MP, before being able to return to the fold. Resignations mean nothing to parliament, but a great deal to a public who rightfully see our political elite as a law unto themselves.

So, when an opportunity came for the public to receive more power in the form of a 'Recall', the government failed utterly to introduce it. The message this gave, was that we do not trust you with more power, especially that, which will hold our elected representatives to account.

The list below, which is by no means totally complete, highlights the various interests in healthcare. They are of varying significance with some persons being the sole owners of companies, chairman, directors, advisers, consultants, shares, you name it. What this list should do is act as a catalyst to reform. Many of those on the list are attached to companies that have financially gained from the changes made possible by the new Health Act, which in turn was made possible by their vote.

The list has gone out far and wide, although largely ignored by the mainstream media. Therefore it is up to us all to spread this list as far and as wide as possible.

Quotes on bill: We
are now 10 years further on from that and it is important that the changes are
not lost in the voices that will always oppose changes that are necessary to
reform the way that the NHS works. I hope that, while listening to those
voices, the Minister can assure us that these essential reforms will be
carried through and that the period of uncertainty for the NHS will not be any
longer than it needs to be before we can get to the kind of reformed NHS that
we all want to see.

also be liberalised"

On
a blog post on the NHS from their website it
says - "As we all know, it’s incredibly difficult out there for most third
sector organisations, especially for smaller locally based/funded ones, and
however much many organisations in principle disagree with the changes to the
NHS, most organisations are also seeing it as an opportunity to tap into health
service funds. With Local Authorities being cut to the bone and increased
competition for Trust funding, the NHS is one of the few places where people
think it’s possible to get money. However,
let us be very clear, the NHS needs to save money; 20 billion by 2015 which is
roughly £90 million a day. Any service a CCG buys from the voluntary sector
will have to demonstrate how it will help save the NHS money."

"The Dept of Health has stated it wants the
NHS to be the biggest social enterprise zone in the world. The competition for
funding will be intense and will only increase. If we don’t want to miss out,
we need to make our case now, and as strongly as possible."

organisations about selling to the NHS called "The Right Prescription"

evidence on the ground. GPs in Shipston in my constituency are absolutely
passionate about the reforms and want to engage fully with them, as do 220
other groups-87% of the country. May I make a suggestion to the Secretary of
State? Perhaps we should bring all those people who are passionate about this
reform and want to take party politics out of it together with Labour Members
on a platform so that we can take this forward without petty politics derailing
a brilliant piece of legislation.
